Mālik ibn al-Huwairith, may Allāh be pleased with him, came to us in this mosque of ours. He said: I am leading you in prayer, and I do not intend the prayer itself (I only intend to show you) how the Prophet ﷺ used to pray. I asked Abū Qilābah: How did he pray? He said: In the manner that this shaikh of ours prays. And this shaikh of ours, when he raised his head from sajdah, would sit, before standing up for the first rak'ah.
